Sparks, NV (AP)---The Yankees completed a successful regular season by defeating the Indians 6-0 on a complete game shut-out by Austin Beard and then dropping the final game, 7-0 to the Rangers…perhaps the leagues’ hottest team going into the post-season.

“This has been a very good season…to have this kind of success with only five players returning from our championship team last year,” said coach Blaine Beard.  “The players we added completed a very complimentary roster…each player knew his role this season and played very, very well in those roles.”

To our 12 year-olds: Web Charles, Cameron Espinosa, Grayson Young, Owen Bartlett, Zach Hix, Brendan Cancino, and Riley Coyne…make these play-offs special…this will complete what has hopefully been a great career in Little League!  Make each play and each at-bat like it is your last…and have fun with it!
